After the 6.0.1 update, I would wake up with a 20 percent battery drain. Charging my phone to 100 percent before going to sleep at night normally resulted in a battery drain of 2 or 3 percent at most. Android 6.0 Marshmallow similarly received high marks from us due to its battery life improvements, particularly Android Doze, which puts your phone into a deep sleep state when it's untouched for a period of time.Īndroid 6.0.1 appears to have broken that as well. It's a fairly staggering downturn for the Editors' Choice-winning Nexus 6P, which clocked 9 hours, 59 minutes during PCMag's battery rundown test (screen brightness to max and stream fullscreen video over LTE). 16-I know the exact date because that was the day I lost 50 percent battery in less than an hour by doing nothing more than listening to Audible with the screen off. That's not the case for Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, which got pushed out to Nexus owners about two weeks ago. But usually these are just minor annoyances little things you can afford to wait on for the next update to fix it.
